I learned how to take initiative as a leader as I worked with a group of my peers to write a detailed report on constructing a windmill. Constructing the windmill and watching it work to produce energy was a rewarding experience.

Honors Program Community

An engaging community is an important dimension of the Honors Program. The program develops this community in several ways.

University Honors Orientation: Allows Honors students to arrive on campus early and develop relationships with fellow Honors students and professors through various social and intellectual activities.

Student housing: Provides students the opportunity to live near fellow Honors students in residence halls. With sufficient student interest, Honors students may live together in an Honors Learning Community (theme house).

Service opportunities: Through both the Honors Council and Honors classes, students are presented with the chance to volunteer and make a difference in the community.
